To talk about breast cancer incidence and trends

Occurred about 120 million women around the world of breast cancer, there were 50 million women die of breast cancer, and my younger and younger age of onset of breast cancer, breast cancer, how to Early observations, how to choose the best treatment options, post-operative how the to care, it is very important!

If we simply look at the incidence of breast cancer, an overview of one from the global scale, the incidence of breast cancer in 2002, reached 1.2 million last year, in 2005 the global incidence of breast cancer more than 1.1 million are expected in 2006 new cases of breast cancer rate will reach 1.4 million, European and American countries a relatively high incidence of breast cancer. They were among 78 women, one would have a person suffering from breast cancer. China is not a high incidence of breast cancer in countries, but the incidence is higher than the growth rate of countries with a high 1-2 percent.

Now in our country, some cities have been accounted for female breast cancer incidence in the first one, but also some cities account for second place. For example, Shanghai and Wuhan, are accounted for tumors in females at the first one, Beijing, Tianjin, Harbin is the accounting for second place. It is published some figures, which is China’s five major cities. Host is just now spoken, breast cancer incidence rate is constantly rising in recent years, the trend emerged in younger, early cases has increased, due to the increase in the early cases, the whole from a global perspective, the death rate began to appear a downward trend.

Now I would like to share related to the occurrence of breast cancer a number of risk factors. The risk factors are not necessarily breast cancer, it is only able to explain these women’s risk of breast cancer is higher than the common people, aged in China are 40-49 years of age, the age incidence of breast cancer is relatively high, there is a passing through a long time. For example, for periods of less than 13 years old to make money, stop by some 53 years old, walking long periods of time. Of course, the issue of marriage such as unmarried, no education, no breast-feeding, so that higher rate of breast cancer. Of course, suffering from other diseases of breast, while receiving high-dose chest radiotherapy, there is an intake of a number of exogenous estrogen, this will be the occurrence of breast cancer have a certain impact. A long period of drinking, and some human breast cancer, ovarian cancer, family history, such a person the chance of breast cancer higher than normal in recent years have had a breast cancer susceptibility gene known as BRCA I, BRCA II This also occurs higher risk of breast cancer.
